The sculpture of tick-borne diseases media coverage in the United States and China
2017
Media’s ability to enhance the salience of certain topics for the public and affect governmental policy-setting processes is widely recognized. This is particularly evident in health communication, where newspapers are one of the most important sources of health information. This study compares media depictions of tick-borne disease in the United States and China, attempting to enhance newspaper influence in health information delivery in both countries. The United States and China are experiencing an increase in tick-borne diseases and have vastly different media landscapes. To investigate US and Chinese newspaper coverage of tick-borne diseases, a content analysis was conducted of four …

Can adjunctive corticosteroid therapy improve patient-centered outcomes following third molar surgery? A systematic review
2021
Third molar surgery is frequently associated with postoperative discomfort such as pain, edema and trismus. We aimed to evaluate the current evidence on the efficacy of adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in improving patient-centered outcomes following third molar surgery.This systematic review assessed and searched PubMed, Google scholar, Scopus, web of science, clinicaltrials.gov and Cochrane central for controlled trials, up to May 2021. The primary outcome measures were patient-centered outcomes such as quality of life following the use of adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in third molar removal. Only randomized controlled trials published in English language were included.A total of 355…
Thrombolysis Followed by Apixaban for Massive Pulmonary Embolism and Free-floating Thrombus in Right Ventricle in a Patient with Breast Cancer
2018
Free-floating thrombus in the right ventricle, associated with a massive acute pulmonary embolism (PE), is a rare phenomenon. PE is an important clinical entity with considerable mortality despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. The prognosis of PE depends on right ventricular dysfunction, myocardial injury markers, and early treatment. In this report, we present the case of a 71-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer admitted to intensive care unit for PE complicated by syncope. Although our case may seem complex because it is not represented in the guidelines, the result was satisfactory and showed how treatment with new anticoagulants (in this case apixaban) after massive th…
Tieto, valta ja vastuu erityislasten hoidossa
2016
Artikkelissa tarkastelen sitä, kuinka erityislasten vanhempien tieto ja asiantuntemus lasta koskevissa asioissa rakentuu ja kuinka siihen suhtaudutaan auttamistyön tilanteissa. Aineistoni koostuu vanhempien kokemuskertomuksista, joissa he kuvaavat erityislapsen vanhemmuuteen kasvua sekä kohtaamisia ammattilaisten kanssa auttamistyön kentillä. Tutkimukseni rakentaa kuvan epäsymmetriselle vallalle perustuvasta vuorovaikutuksesta, jossa ammattilaisen ja asiakkaan roolia määrittelevät kulttuuriset kategoriat vaikuttavat vanhempien mahdollisuuksiin osallistua auttamistyön neuvotteluihin. Näiden kategorioiden mukaan asiakkaan roolina on olla tiedon ja avun vastaanottaja, minkä seurauksena heidän …
Akateemisen varhaiskasvatuksen muotoutuminen
2001
Tässä tutkimuksessa rajaudutaan tarkastelemaan varhaiskasvatusta tieteenalan perspektiivistä. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan akateemisen kentän muotoutumista ja varhaiskasvatuksen sisällöllistä määrittymistä. Aineistona ovat Suomen varhaiskasvatuksen professoreiden virantäyttöprosesseissa tuotetut dokumentit. Tutkimuksemme painottuu erityisesti akateemisen kentän keskeisten toimijoiden - asiantuntijoiden ja viranhakijoiden - identifioimiseen. Työmme kohdentuu lähihistoriaan ja sitä voidaan luonnehtia akateemisen varhaiskasvatuksen kentän historiaa ja muotoutumista koskevaksi perustutkimukseksi. Aineistolähtöinen sisällönanalyysi osoittaa, etteivät asiantuntijalausunnot juurikaan tuo yllätyksiä…
Improving the operation of an emergency department by using a simulation model
2007
FL Toni Ruohonen on tutkinut väitöskirjassaan monia suomalaisia koskettavaa ongelmaa: terveydenhuollon päivystysjärjestelmän tehottomuutta. Tietokonesimulointia apuna käyttäen Ruohonen kehitti päivystyspoliklinikan uuden toimintamallin, jolla päivystykseen tulevan potilaan hoitoprosessia voidaan nopeuttaa jopa 40 %. – Terveydenhuollon yksiköt ovat hyvin monimutkaisia kokonaisuuksia, ja niillä on paljon satunnaisia piirteitä. Uusien teoreettisten ratkaisumallien kehittäminen ongelmiin on ollut melko helppoa, mutta niiden toimivuus on voitu osoittaa vasta käytännön kokeilun jälkeen, Ruohonen toteaa.Tutkimuksessa Ruohonen loi aluksi tietokoneella mallin oikeasta poliklinikasta sairaalan henkil…
Dividing Responsibility for Care : Tracing the Ethics of Care in Local Care Strategies
2020
This article analyses local care policies through the lens of the feminist ethics of care. The focus is on the normative understandings regarding care that emerge in local care strategy documents and how these understandings relate with the concept of ‘responsibility’. In this article, strategies published by the municipality of Jyväskylä, Finland, between the years 2008 and 2016, are analysed using Trace analysis. The research questions are: How is the division of responsibility regarding care among different actors constructed in the strategies? How do the roles assigned to these different actors accord with the principles of ethics of care? The findings show that the documents emphasise …
Helminth Infection of the Loggerhead Sea Turtle Caretta caretta along the Coasts of Sicily and the North West Adriatic Sea
2021
We provide new data on the presence of helminth parasites in 64 individual loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta stranded along the coasts of Sicily and the northwest Adriatic Sea between June 2014 and August 2016. The necropsy examination revealed 31 individuals (48.4%) positive for endoparasites, showing a greater prevalence of trematodes than nematodes. In particular, seven species and a single genus of Trematoda (Hapalotrema) and a single species and genus of Nematoda (Kathlania) were identified. Among the Digenea flukes the species with the highest prevalence of infection were Rhytidodes gelatinosus (34.6%) and Hapalotrema sp. (33.3%), while among the Nematoda they were Kathlania sp. …
